goh sin tub's story..
read goh's sin tub halfwae n den felt e urge to blog..i found his story very meaningful(izit liddat spell?)so i tot of sharing it..here's one of his short stories...
Jamie's talk with me n michelangelo the lady with a truly grandmotherly face was sharing teh restaurant dining table with me.just introduced,she had only to look at me with her genial,if also,venerably glazed eyes to ease me into talking with her. actually,she kicked off first;with 'cuddly' words about her granddaughter.naturally,i cut in and opened up about mine.little jaime. "our jaime'sstill an infant,just celebrated one-month-old the other day,and so fast already two,"i began.gloria's smiling eyes shone annd graciously signalled me to go on,and so i did: :"jaime's so tiny.has been asleep most of e time ever since birth.tries to but still can't roll over sideways.lies flat on her back all the time,her head still needing support when we carry her up.you know,her neck muscles are not yet strong...poor thing,she's so weak.such a helpless thing,so vulnerable-looking. "as i hold her body,soft like a boneless thing in my hands i would say:"oh,jaime,when will u become strong enough to hold yourself up on your own?"she does not respond-not even with a ga-ga.and i would wonder when our little jaime would be able to talk with us." Gloria's eyes symphatized with me.she did not say it but i could read her mind:so sad!the poor child can't talk!can't saay any words yet... i shook my head.i should put her straight but she went on before i could:"i'm so sorry...but don't you worry,that will come."her hand and heart and words reached out and touched me gently. "yes,of course,that will come.she'll talk.you know,she's only two-" "yes,plenty of time..."she cut in again. oh well,i'll tell her later,i thought.i went on with my calling up images of jaime."all this while she seems to be mostly sleeping.she wakes up and cries out loudly when she's hungry,but after she's fed,back she goes into her long sleep." "doesn't she open her eyes for any stretch of time at all?" "well,when she wakes up,her eyes open for a brief while,and then she's back again in slumberland..." "doesn't she respond when people talk to her?" "yes,only for a bit,but the other day-" "does she smile?" "yes,her smiles come and go-more like flashes of sunshine than a sustained response.but the other day-" "now,don't you go worrying too much,"gloria cut in again,"your jaime is god's child too.he'll be good to her.he'll take care of her,help her learn,help her grow,and do all those things children normally do.by god's grace,in time,she's going to talk.she'll have a conversation with you..." "that's exactly what i'm working up to tell you,"i was getting flabbergasted. then,i managed to get to in my say at last."something fantastic happened,a few days ago,jaime blessed me with a wonderful,wonderful experience! "it started off like any other day.her parents came over and left her lying on my bed.i saw that her eyes were open.so i bent my head close to hers,looked straight into those eyes,atroked her tiny chubbly cheeks,and started telling her what a lovely baby she was.speaking naturally,matter-of-factly...as well as i could do it,talking on equal terms, as in one-on-one convesation with any party.only,of course i used simple words,and lots of repetition.and oodleds of cooing sounds interjected within context. "to my utter joy,this time she did not yawn,close her eyes and go back to dreamland.for the first time since birth,she looked back steadily at me.and she cooed out a word i could not catch(but politely pretended to,of course) "i was so excited.contact at last!i fine tuned my voice to my best falsetto as that seemed to work with her.i continued our exchange,i told her she had a beautiful crop of hair.i said i wished i had hair like that.i told her i was losing lots of hair these days.my shinng hair must be reflecting light and making the world a brighter place wherever i went...she actually smiled at that joke.she even wriggled about a bit in a kind of sexy way.and she gurgled a response in baby-talk.which unfortunately i was not educated enough to get. "and we went on like that for quite a while...i can't recall all i said.and i can't translate any of what she said.that was the first time she and i ever had a meaningful private conversation!but i shall never the joy of that first close contact with jaime! "then,a sudden moment of quiet.jaime held up her angelic little hand-and the tip of her forefinger fleetingly touched the tip of mine,i felt it was a passing divine touch,sudden grace,blessing of heavenly mystery...and then the epiphany was all over. story to be continued tml cos my hand is exhausted form all tis typin..lolx..
